...and on the spark plugs, make sure you gap the spark plugs correctly( the gap between the center electrode and the ground electrode should have a specific measurement) before installing or even your genuine spark plugs will still contribute to poor fuel economy. There are three main types of spark plugs: - Copper electrode plug ( lasts up to 30,000 km, most commonly used coz it's the cheapest) -Platinum electrode plug ( lasts up to 100,000 km) - Iridium electrode plug ( can last up to 150,000 km) ...... to add to the list too, make sure your catalytic converter is not broken( makelele kama mawe in a debe when you shake your exhaust pipe) and blocking you exhaust, it will ruin your fuel economy, it will also trigger the check engine light. - A bad oxygen sensor is another thing. when the check engine light comes on have it read by computer to see what sensors might be bad in your vehicle. -Incorrect timing of your engine also contributes to bad fuel economy.
Maybe just to add on, carrying unnecessary goods in the car may also lead to poor fuel economy due to the increase in weight. All in all, this has been a very informative video, Erick keep up the great work 👏
I was wrongly advised that my car had slow knock only to realize later it was just a fan belt mulfunction. However, in the process, I was advised to use Motor honey to stop the noise coming from the Engine, however, it was just the noise coming from the cracked belt. Should I flash the engine oil now that I feel the Engine oil is now more thicker than it should?
My car is smoking alot and does not have power. My mech put it in obd ikaleta error ya Oxygen sensor na vehicle speed sensor. The oxygen sensor was cleaned ikakuwa sawa. The vehicle speed sensor error still showing, vehicle still smoking when on idle and engine still feels underpowered. Vehicle: Forester Sg9 2004
You should have highlighted causes of 'low' fuel economy instead of 'bad' to allow you to mention MOST of the common causes that contribute to high fuel consumption - good or bad. eg. driving in constant start stop situations, idling a lot, tiny engines in heavy cars, the 4 wheel drive system, forced induction, loading to near car's max load capacity plus what you've talked about. Then do a follow up in-depth video explaining how they affect fuel economy.
Check the service history booklet that came with the car if any. It nay indicate date of last service and type of service. The manufacturer guidelines on mileage of the car will also dictate when next service and type of service.is due. Check type of spark plaugs installed ie are they 10km, 30km, iridium type etc. Check whethe plugs are brownish or.blackish sootish and size of gap and pin.. If the latter and worn down replece.Alternatively take the vehicle to the marque dealer eg VW Golf to VW Kenya. They have a global database of service records for the car. Other than that take the safe route....REPLACE

I'll do a strong recommendation to my Driving School students. This video is powerful especially coming at this time
This topic is long over due
But finally sahii doctors word is here we shall follow it kama vile politicians wanatafuta kura
thank you , good lessons here. Though AC is not really a luxury in some hot areas eg at the coast.. it's needed..
I will not give up in asking for a review of the Iconic TOYOTA GAIA.With it's impressive looks and excellent reliability
Hio gari hatuwezi review ni very shapeless na out of production
Very interesting videos , thanks wokabi
Million Dollar channel any day!!
Thanks for this info bro.....Keep up the good work
Can a faulty fuel temp sensor cause bad fuel economy
I was wrongly advised that my car had slow knock only to realize later it was just a fan belt mulfunction.

Kukanyaga brake ovyo eg uko traffic na uko mafuta breki mafuta breki.....................
Non serviced injector pump
Non serviced injector nozzles
Wheel balancing
A very informative piece. Keep it up. 👏👏👏👏
And talking of loading: That roof rack is the last place you want to transport anything on. Avoid using it on long trips.
Erick where is your garage located in Nairobi?
How do i know the correct spark plug...i would like to know much about it
just go with what ur car came with from manufacturer, if not sure just visit a trusted dealer car dealer
Thank you 🙏
Now that you talked about Adulterated fuel, What is your comment on Shell V-Power?
Hi Wokabi, also the aerodynamics part of it.
My car is smoking alot and does not have power. My mech put it in obd ikaleta error ya Oxygen sensor na vehicle speed sensor. The oxygen sensor was cleaned ikakuwa sawa. The vehicle speed sensor error still showing, vehicle still smoking when on idle and engine still feels underpowered.

Try Yoroi garage komarocks
Try boosted auto
Nice one guys please can you do a video to educate us on carburetors
Long dead bro
A bad up stream oxygen sensor will cause high fuel consumption.
No catalyst will also do so

Super awesome info. !!!
Does the worn muffler or exhaust system lead to high fuel consumption?
In Nissan NV 200 Vannete Van?
Nope
I'm learning 👌
hii ugonjwa imetulema ..poor fuel economy ama imekua phycological
What about quality of cable plugs? Do they affect high fuel consumption?
Cable plugs?!... Are you serious as a citizen?
@@Nesylver i think he meant to say ignition coils hehehe
Catalyst chamber#oxgen sensor
Bad wheel alignment. The car will not be rolling freely. One wheel trying to oppose the other also causes uneven tyre wear besides bad fuel economy.
My mass air flow sesnor failed this week..... the car suddenly became thirsty
look for curb cleaner open remover sensor and clear the carbon build up
Good topic
Asante sana
Overloading the car can cause.....
For newly imported vehicles, how does someone know the mileage clocked on the spark plugs?

Ati mkono sambusa to show of my girl friend??🤣🤣 Mbona unaongea ukweli!??
Listening
I know your talking about fuel consumptions BUT prissss - is SBI MOTOR JAPAN legit?
Wachana na hao wakora. Hata Beforward au SBT Japan. Contact me nikuletee gari kutoka Japan
